[Raptor6767]

Lovely

lovely jubbly :lol:

 

[Ferg]

Looks nice that mate.

 

[Roblynn1977]

Looking great looks like its been really cared for

 

[Raptor6767]

Yes, it has. Only the seats remain to be retrimmed.

Waiting for Croatia to enter the EU so I could easily send my seats to Steve.

 

[Raptor6767]

It's been a couple of months now that the filter hasn't been cleaned and <5kkm so I thought it was time for cleaning.




Drying on the windows...



New indicator LEDs have come from Hong-Kong. Waaaay brighter than the last ones:

Indicators look good mate! Don't suppose you have a link where you got them from?

 

[Raptor6767]

Of course...

 

[Tree200]

Perfect! Thanks

 

[Yiannis197]

expensive but they look the part

Is the link provided the one for our fitment Raptor? Cheers

 

[Raptor6767]

Yes, they are the ones.

However, you'll need the resistors in order for them to blink.

 

[Yiannis197]

Ah good to know mate. I thought they were just plug and play...

Dalmatia Street Race Show 13.07.2013.















The only time slip that I'm not too embarrassed to show.





The traction was terrible...new asphalt but poor quality. 60FT should be 2.1-2.3s




Testing the mini-wash in Dalmatia:









Made 1000km in 2 days...

 

[Raptor6767]

Haven't done anything special in the meantime except the sceduled service @ 85kkm:




One pic taken this rainy Sunday. 8)



Bought a new car (Fiat Dobló 1.6mjet 105hp) so using the Clio as a weekend car now.

 

[Giles]

love the last pics!

 

[Calj]

Absolutely stunning mate, love that stripe!

 

[Raptor6767]

Finally - I got my hands on the Clio 200 gear box, and Quaife LSD!

55kkm on the gearbox, and 20kkm on the LSD.





Wasn't sure at first which oil to use - stayed with 75W90.





Gearbox mount:





Replaced both oil seals:





Brake fluid:









Impressions?

I have a feeling that the car has more power now at the same speed (@50km/h it has 500rpm more) and it accelerates faster - but it could be a Placebo effect. Have to try it against other Clio's.

LSD? The best thing I did when it comes to suspension on my car. You just point the steering wheel and floor the throttle. Amazing!

 

[Deaks]

Such a tidy car just gets better and better. Nice work

 

[Yiannis197]

Great pics and parts mate. Isn't 300V a bit of an overkill though? I read somewhere that these racing oils have a reverse effect on road cars unless of course they are changed regularly. But again this is something I read, not sure if that's the case..

 

[Raptor6767]

It is a bit...
However, no issues with the oil in 85kkm that I've been using it.

Just change it at 10kkm max and no problem.

I've been using 300V 15w50 for my Cagiva Raptor 1000 for years now...
